Summary

The story of Elizabeth I, the 
last Tudor monarch, is one of enduring fascination. Daughter of the 
tyrannical Henry VIII and sister of the embittered Queen Mary, 
Elizabeth did well to survive her childhood. Clever, learned and 
skilled in diplomacy, as queen she presided over a golden age of 
literature, exploration and discovery. A selective 
version of events from Elizabeth's life focuses on her younger years, 
without distorting the 
picture of a reign dominated by war, political intrigue and religious 
disputes. 
 
 
 
Lives in Action is a series of 
narrative biographies that recount the lives of some of the key figures 
in history. Page-turning, thrilling plots that read like fiction will 
keep the most reluctant reader hooked.
Available since: 03/14/2014.
Print length: 128 pages.
